Introduction to Permaculture

Permaculture is a design practice for developing regenerative human communities. While supporting the needs of the people, it maintains an environmental focus on sustainability. Permaculture enhances the unique biological resources in each individual region, enriching plant and animal communities. It is also a philosophy into which many people are gathering to come together and take on the responsibility of working with nature, not against it.

In this section, you will get an introduction into what permaculture is doing for communities and the environment. This insight will be shared by leading experts who you can study to explore more of this topic later. One of the many pieces of permaculture are bound to intrigue you to study deeper!

The Permaculture Principles guide our design decisions and formulate the structure of our Permaculture system. We are using David Holmgren’s 12 principle version which are used to help guide every Permaculture design. Oregon State University Free Permaculture Course (http://open.oregonstate.edu/courses/p…)
